It's a Jolly Holiday!...from the heart!

I wasn't as thrilled with the Christmas Holiday Papers when the catalog first came out, but...as I have been playing with the Jolly Holiday Papers, I think I am falling....falling...and falling....for them! I love the cute petite designs. The jumbo circles don't do much for me but this little petite patterns are cute for note cards, such as these!
I made the little box for the 3x3 notecards, and using the mini envelopes from the catalog, this fits in the box perfectly!

Adding a scallop to the box side to enhance the side shape makes this box even more cuter!
Each card is made using the design for punches stamps called GIFTED and PERFECT PUNCHES. They are just perfect, don't you think?

The colors that are used in the Jolly Holiday papers are Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler. I accented it using the Crumb Cake cardstock and Very Vanilla. The punches all do the rest along with the stamps! How cute would this be for a friend or relative to give as a gift. I know this year is going to be a difficult year for lots of people. I am included. The recession might over for Congress, and the President, but it isn't over for the rest of us...I finally have been hit really hard myself in my 'other' job and so I have to start thinking of ways to use my supplies and my brain to make gifts for Christmas, otherwise I will have nothing to give away! So, I have been trying to stamp and make gifts for those in my circle....because this gift comes from the <3 {heart}
